The SOLETAIR team is a group of researchers with ambition for saving the climate with renewable energy solutions.

Johanna Kihlman

Research Scientist

I am a Research Scientist with background in catalysis, industrial chemistry and reactor technologies. My special interest is in applied catalysis, which in practice translates into plenty of laboratory related work with catalysts and reactors. I have been working at VTT since 2009 mostly with steam reforming and methanation catalyst, and reactor technology development for renewable solutions. Part of this development work has been directly applied in the Soletair project, especially for the methanation reactor in Mobile Synthesis Unit. It is wonderful to see how years of development culminates in the SOLETAIR demonstration!

In SOLETAIR project I have also gained an opportunity to step outside my normal scope of work by being in charge of SOLETAIR marketing and communications. Our aim is to present SOLETAIR concept in accessible, engaging and interesting way for both academic and general public audiences.
